National Friends of Libraries Week

Friends of Libraries groups now have their very own national week of celebration! The Association of Library Trustees, Advocates, Friends and Foundations (ALTAFF) will coordinate the sixth annual National Friends of Libraries Week October 16-22, 2011. First celebrated in 2005, the celebration offers a two-fold opportunity to celebrate Friends. Use the time to creatively promote your group in the community, to raise awareness, and to promote membership. This is also an excellent opportunity for your library and Board of Trustees to recognize the Friends for their help and support of the library. Contact the the Association of Library Trustees, Advocates, Friends and Foundations at altaff@ala.org with questions.
